Default Prefilter for small pond with a bead filter - plant-baskets

*Note: There are two *Koi-Lo's* on the pond and aquaria groups.

There is precious little space available for the filtration system, and
the Aquadyne has almost completely taken this up. Are there any
suggestions for some sort of prefiltration approach that consumes
little space, is efficient, is low effort, and can be untended for 1-2
weeks, and occupies little space?

===========================================
I use two black plastic pond-plant pots wired together like clam-shells with
the pump inside. It seldom needs cleaning and the pump doesn't clog with
litter. If the flow slows down after some weeks, I pull them up, open the
clam-shell and hose everything out. It's usually just collected mulm and
rinses out quickly and easily.
